Comment on If Twins were not enough lets welcome a Family Dog by Tina "The Book Lady"

@LeAnn – you are right the Blue Healers are wonderful dogs. My brother has had two (he farms) and they have been great. He didn’t have train them much at all – they house trained themselves and since he was on a farm he was able to use them with the cattle.

@Blog owner (sorry I don’t know your name) – We had shelties and some kind of blue mountain dog and mutts growing up (we were out in the country). Shelties need to be groomed (we actually shaved Mack each summer and he loved it once he got over being embarrassed). We also shaved the mutt down. They collected every burr and other crud on the farm and would get huge mats if we didn’t.

Loved both the sheltie and the mutt – very sweet dogs. Sheltie’s are another herding dog – so if you are near farmers the Sheltie & the Blue Healer wouldn’t be good choices – unless they don’t have cattle or sheep). You wouldn’t want your dog to be shot by a farmer.

That little Kelpie is adorable. I don’t have any experience with those dogs – find out if they are high maintenance and what kind of health issues they have.

I’m in the states and Black Labs are really popular here. They are big dogs tho – you’ll have to make sure you have plenty of room for running. That being said they are great with kids & very protective. =D

Jack Russells are very high maintenance too – very hyper from what I’ve heard.

I’ve heard stories of German Shepherds. The ones I’ve known are like the black lab (above) I talked about. But I’ve also heard they bite – so you might consider that.

Whatever you don’t DONT get a Bichon or Bichon Friese or Bichon Mix – they are very needy little dogs, they can be hard to potty train (my roommates dog never did get potty trained) and they like to “eat” couches & chairs!

Good luck on choosing a dog. I can’t wait to hear what you’ll get.

Comment on The Art of Gratitude by Mark Lemar

Hello Lisa,

I’ve been poking around the net, checking out blogs on bipolar. Thanks for raising awareness and sharing.

This post got my attention because of, “The Road Less Traveled”…which I read years ago. I like the focus on gratitude.

A few years back, I went through a most devastating experience. Honestly, it has taken a long time to overcome. And I’m somewhere between 80% to 90% there.

Through the darkest days of the early onslaught…I found it a challenge to be thankful for anything…much less take the time to write it down.

I’m fifty…and probably have bipolar, though I’ve never been diagnosed. The descriptions I read certainly describe many of my own life experiences.

So I keep putting one foot in front of another. I’m more hopeful and more thankful these days. Which is one reason I created my own quasi blog. It is my own way of giving something of worth to others. That which comes from the heart has to be better.

I love what you are doing. I have created a gift that I spent time developing then did markets, now just released into the retail market. This has been an enormous shift for me, but, and there is always a but in us humans, I still have a block in regards to believing the success, go figure, it is already a success right?

Comment on Don’t say to me “I don’t know how you do it?” by Brae

Brae — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 17:35:19 +0000

uh! Can I just say that I totally agree? I don’t have twins, but I have 4 kids ages 6 5 4 and 10 months and a husband who works two jobs- so I’m doing it all by myself for the most part. Is it hard? Yes. Does it suck? A lot of the time. But you know, I love my kids, and when people say to me “i don’t know how you do it” or “I could never do that.” It isn’t a compliment! I don’t know how to explain why not or what makes me so mad, it just does. I’m a mom and this is what I do. I DO it. If it sucks, it still needs done. Not to mention, I love my little knuckleheads more than anything. If I didn’t thinkI could do it, I wouldn’t have had more. I just feel like saying to those people “If you couldn’t do it, then don’t…but saying that to me makes me feel like you think my priorities aren’t right…and that’s not fair. Because they’re MY priorities. Which means they’re right.”

Hey, I’m here from MBS alexa hop. I’m following you on GFC and I’m off to leave you an alexa review. I’d love a review and follow back. Thanks!
